Give people the possibility to commit atrocities without consequences and they will...

As a German and someone who is regularly actively participating in Holocaust remembrance it really makes my heart heavy. We have been here before and swore to never return. We can watch in realtime as this horror unfolds yet again.

Our politicians not criticizing the sensitive topics as they are afraid of the power of the Fascist Leadership. They completely forgot that fear is where they draw power from.

@Kmachel Ask the clinically vulnerable and you'd find it never was absent. You all are walking over our corpses and even people like you go into full denial.

@UndeadMinotaur

I don't see how I denied the fact that people with severe or chronic illnesses get treated bad from society.

If anything we should be on the same page here.

Reason is simple. All powerful treat everyone under them like dirt. It starts with foreigners, disabled people but everybody else can be next.

That you feel forsaken is understandable and a shame in itself. Yet it should not be the reason to spite people fighting against your enemy. Don't make it easier for them.

@Kmachel Just one question: Do you still mask or have reasonable efforts to ensure clinically vulnerable are safe around you. Vaccination does not count, is just a small bonus.

@UndeadMinotaur

I get regular vaccines and wear masks whenever I realise I'm sick and have to be around people in closed rooms. If I am dealing with vulnerable people like immune deficiency of course I do. Does not happen too often, if then due to work.

But again I understand where you are coming from but I don't see what point you are trying to make. I do not behave perfect, maybe better than most but surely still worse than ideal.

What is the win in pointing out I am not behaving ideal?

@Kmachel SO obviously you are no real ally, else you would know that you meat vulnerable people every time you leave the house. You ignore the fact that asymptomatic illness makes up half of the xp as well.

I am pointing out that a person behaving a little less racist than the rest is still a racist. You are so fucking far from ideal, I do not even see how to start.

We watch in realtime how people like you still ignorantly (and now knowingly) walk over the corpses of clinically vulnerable, and honestly, it makes you just a tiny tiny tiny bit worse if you'd also commit the crimes you think are just unfolding, from the perspective of a clinically vulnerable person. Really, just another shade of bad.

You _could_ choose to start to listen to the vulnerable, but you chose to be ignorant and go into denial. If that is the best people we got on earth, go dig a grave.

@UndeadMinotaur

Like honestly I see your topic and already agreed that it is important too. But I also pointed out that we will both suffer even more if we do not join forces against Fascist wherever they creep into the daylight.

That argument is still valid and important whether I am living up to other standards or not. You may of course criticize me, fine.

But if you can not join forces due to this then you are doing fascist guys a favour.

They love to divide and conquer.
